“OF all the comets in the sky
There’s none like Comet Halley,
We see it with the naked eye and periodically”
Anon

by Andrea Deakin
Terrace Reviewer

Yes we are back to comets, but in this case comets
in art and a book by Roberta J.M. Olson which in-
troduces and discusses representations of comets
from the weavers of the Bayeux Tapestry to the
works of Giotto, Raphael, Durer, Blake, Van Gogh,
Kandinsky and Miro, and the satirical commentaries
of the ages — including Hogarth and Daumier,

The text has been written to accompany a major

— exhibit, ‘‘Fire and Ice — A History of Comets in

Art’, Roberta J.M. Olson (Smithsonian/Fitzheney
and Whiteside: $22.95) which is being shown at the
National Air and Space Museum in Washington, and
coincidentally with the circuit of Halley’s Comet.

Returning
visitor

Concerned as we are with the returning visitor, we
are unaware of the effect that other comets have had.

Halley is here, of course in the Bayeux Tapestry, |
‘drawings from the Eadwine Psalter, Giotto and
‘Scott; but so also are the great comets of 1680, 1843

and Donati’s Comet: of 1858, all as imposing, as
Halley but either less frequent visitors or one-time

- guests.

Dr, Olson blends superstitution, fashion (there was
even a wig design called ‘‘The Comet’’ in 1758),
satire and the arts in an interesting, detailed very
well, and copiously illustrated examination of the ef-
fect ‘of comets on society.
